Trailing 2-0 at the half-hour mark, FC Barcelona snatched a draw from Granada on Sunday (2-2) during the 9th day of La Liga, leaving Antoine Griezmann's Atlético Madrid victorious against Real Sociedad (2-1), getting closer to the podium. Barça are now third in the standings, one point behind their neighbor Girona and three behind Real Madrid.
Picked up cold by the penultimate in the standings, the Blaugrana experienced a nightmarish start to the match, conceding a first goal after just 17 seconds of play. It was the whirling Spanish striker Bryan Zaragoza who sanctioned the first loss of ball Catalan with a cross shot whose rebound deceived Ter Stegen (1st, 1-0). Powerless despite possession of the ball above 80%, Xavi's men, deprived of four major players, Lewandowski, Pedri, De Jong and Raphinha, tried to respond but the attempts of João Félix (16th) and Gavi (21st) were diverted by Portuguese goalkeeper Andre Ferreira.
On a counter, Bryan Zaragoza continued his festival by offering himself a double from the outside of the right foot, after having erased Koundé with a small bridge (29th, 2-0). The French defender, hit in the left knee, was forced to give up his place to Araujo a few minutes later (44th).
It was once again the Spanish prodigy Lamine Yamal who gave Barça hope just before half-time (46th, 2-1), becoming the youngest scorer in the history of La Liga at 16 years and 87 days. But the Catalans again came up against Ferreira, imperial on his line in front of Torres (69th) then Gundogan (77th). Sergi Roberto, who entered the game a few minutes earlier, equalized at 2-2 (86th), preventing his team from suffering its first defeat of the season. João Félix even thought he would give Barça the three points in added time (93rd) but his goal was refused for a passive offside by Ferran Torres.
A little earlier in the day, French international Antoine Griezmann, scorer on a penalty, allowed Atlético Madrid to sign a fourth consecutive victory by dominating his former club Real Sociedad (2-1). A success which allows Atlético to overtake Athletic Bilbao and come back to within two points of FC Barcelona, third.
The Colchoneros opened the scoring in the 22nd minute thanks to Brazilian full-back Samuel Lino, well served by Koke in the depth and rewarded for his good start to the season (1-0). Then, Diego Simeone's men fell completely asleep after hitting the uprights twice by De Paul (44th) and Axel Witsel (46th), giving the Basques, well contained until then, the opportunity to get back into the game. The first alert came on the hour mark, Mikel Oyarzabal hitting the post (65th), before the Spanish international equalized by winning his face-to-face with Oblak (73rd, 1-1).
But like against Feyenoord (3-2) and Cadiz (3-2), two victories obtained after chasing the score, Atlético showed that it had resources and character. The Colchoneros woke up and pushed to equalize, ending up obtaining a penalty on a handball from Fernandez, perfectly transformed by Griezmann (87th), who offers the three points to the Rojiblancos.
In the other matches of the evening, Betis Sevilla was held in check at Alavés (1-1), while the Englishman Mason Greenwood allowed Getafe to bring back a point from Vigo (2-2) by scoring his first goal since the start of 2022. He was then sidelined by Manchester United following accusations of domestic violence and rape - the charges were subsequently dropped.
